Construction erosion is important!
The average construction site releases 35-45 tons of sediment a year into our waterways.
Studies show that 19% of the phosphorus in our lakes--an important nutrient that causes the growth of toxic algae--comes from construction site erosion.
Numerous studies and groups, including Yahara CLEAN, have called for tighter enforcement of construction sites.
